Biden ‘discussing’ Israel blowing up Iran’s oil — causing global spike in crude prices
NY Post ^ | Oct 3, 2024 | Steven Nelson

Posted on 10/03/2024 9:22:37 AM PDT by McGruff

President Biden said Thursday that the US is “discussing” the possibility of Israel bombing Iranian oil facilities as payback for a volley of nearly 200 rockets fired at the Jewish state on Tuesday — causing a spike in global crude prices.

Biden said the oil strike option was under consideration when asked directly by a reporter as he left the White House.

“We’re discussing that. I think that would be a little… anyway,” the retiring 81-year-old president said ...

Within 45 minutes of Biden’s remark, crude oil futures spiked to about $74 per barrel from its opening price of $70.10, before settling back to around $73.

No, Bibi blow up Iran's nuke facilities !

You will never have an opportunity to do it like now, the Dems will keep their mouths shut otherwise they will lose more Jewish support, and the U.S. will be in a Constitutional crisis that will make Gore v Bush look like "My Cousin Vinnie" after the general election.

Yes on taking out the Iranian dictators’ chief source of funds (outside of USA giveaways, of course). And their nuclear bomb factories.

However, Biden needs to recall (someone needs to refresh his failing memory)
that the Iranian dictators have repeatedly made it clear that USA is their first and foremost target for destruction, not Israel and not primarily- sunni Muslim Saudi Arabia or the gulf emirates. In their crazed brains, they make America their “Great Satan” .. Iran’s dictators have made it crystal clear on several occasions that they intend to destroy USA first. This is why they are working so hard building Intercontintental Ballistic Missiles. To carry their nuclear bombs to USA. They don’t need ICBM’s to bomb Arabia or Israel, both of which we’ve already witnessed them bombing with their existing shorter-ranger rocketry.

Nobody buys Iranian oil... Except Russia and China.

Russia does not import any Iranian oil.

You are right, but, we have insane democrats running our government who would use the event to declare a gas shortage with the consequences that go with it.

Well we know how this ends. If you haven’t heard, senile Joe has withdrawn even more oil from our Strategic Reserves….he also asked the Ukies to not bomb Russian refineries, they did anyway, which is the reason for more oil reserves withdrawn.

Can’t have $5 gallon gas during elections.

The consequences of Ukies bombing Russian oil refineries. Global oil production is all intertwined in ways not understood by many.

St Z decided to disregard senile Joe’s warning, and here we are, an empty strategic oil reserve, when we may need it most.

Not enough in the reserve to last more than two weeks anyway…the reserve is overrated. Used by politicians to imply they are “doing something” by releasing it or keeping it.

Production and refining capability is what makes the only difference.

At this point I’m pretty sure any money that could be used to refill the SPR is going to either Ukraine or Israel.

The Left’s MO-—blame everyone else for the problems they have caused....If we lifted the regulations here and red tape it wouldn’t matter too much.

>>f you limit supply in the marketplace—even if it’s going to specific customers—you will drive prices higher globally.

Which wouldn’t have been bad for the U.S., back when we were a net exporter of oil under Trump, but Biden shut down the Bakken fields and drained our oil reserves.
